Perfect Fingerling Potatoes

    This recipe is from Alton Brown's Eat This Rock! You cook the potatoes in heavily salted water and the salt crystallizes on the outside of the potatoes. It seems like a lot of salt but it works. The reviews rave over it! I have slightly adapted it. They are even good cold!

    Perfect Fingerling Potatoes, This recipe is from Alton Brown’s Eat This Rock! You cook the potatoes in heavily salted water and the salt crystallizes on the outside of the potatoes It seems like a lot of salt but it works The reviews rave over it! I have slightly adapted it They are even good cold!, I followed another reviewer’s advice and took photos before adding the butter and scallions I hope I got a nice pic of the salty crust, but I did have to take the pics inside used coarse kosher salt, and got a very nice crust on the part of the potato that was popping out of the water used a mix of yellow, red, and purple fingerlings Personally, I would reduce the salt although that might defeat the purpose of the recipe in getting a salt crust I ended up scraping the salt crust off the potatoes They were still a little salty I’ll try this again with about 1/4 to 1/2 the amount of salt and see how that turns out Or I might sub a larger potato to balance the amount of salt Thanks for sharing!
